Scrumptious Saturday Vol. 4 : Stuffing yourself!

Here’s something I enjoyed eating from last week. I haven’t cooked in a while but some days I just don’t feel like anything heavy and that’s when I pull out this tried and true recipe for Grilled Chicken Stuffed Pita Pockets.

Doesn’t it look cafe or restaurant worthy? Tastes just as good as it looks if I don’t say so myself 😀

It tastes best warm and if you crisp the pita a bit, it tastes so much better. I sometimes mix the salad leaves with some yuzu dressing for a fresh tangy flavor, or mix the leaves with some Japanese sesame dressing for a creamier flavor, depending on how I feel as I cook.

Also nice for packed lunches, in which case, don’t dress the salad leaves or the pita pocket will get soggy.

Do you have other ideas for stuffed pita pockets? Or do you enjoy eating pita breads or flatbreads too? I love eating wraps and pita pockets because they are so easy to put together and are always light, healthy meals if you make them right. Plus it’s easy to make a cafe/restaurant worthy dish right in the comfort of your home 🙂 You can also cut the breads up, crisp them and have them with dips. Mmm… I’m making myself hungry! 😯

Ooo! I’ve done something similar, but what I did was I marinated the chicken (now I can’t remember what sauce it was, but it was good!) overnight, stir fried it the next day, and stuffed them into the pita bread with chopped up tomatoes and cucumber. I curi this idea from Nando’s ^_^ But I didn’t think about crisping the bread! How did you do it? Oven?

Oh yum! Your version sounds absolutely delicious too! I heat and crisp my pitss by placing them in a hot pan without oil. Heat up the pan and place the pita in, let it heat through then flip over. An oven works too but the pan is faster 😉

oh wow. wish i can cook in my hostel’s campus too 🙁 having oatmeal for dinner and your grilled chicken pita is not helping. hahahaha but it sure looks good! would love to try when i get my ass home during the hols 😀

Oh I remember when I couldnt cook in uni. It was torture! You could make something similar without cooking, by using canned tuna. But if you don’t have a fridge to store stuff in, it would be hard too 🙁
